By the way, has the NBA EVER used the Red White Blue ball for any preseason, regular season, playoff or all-star games (other than moneyball in the 3-pt. contest)?

Nothing I recall from the regular season. Let me go digging ... It would appear that you are correct. A "good memory" compliment for you, too!http://abc7news.com/sports/a-game-balls-road-to-the-nba-finals/773057/ From that article: The NBA celebrated the anniversary of the ABA by allowing some of its ex-ABA teams to use a red, white and blue ball -- similar to what was used in the now-defunct league -- during a mid-1990s preseason game. "I have no idea if they dribbled these balls three times and said they're good to go or what, but by the end of the first quarter, the home team uniforms had red white and blue on them, the floor had red white and blue on it," the executive said. "As soon as it got wet, as soon as it got sweat on it, it was a clown show."

Shadojoker Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 At the 5min mark, you can see the Rockets court with the red paint and baselines! Confirmed what we saw weeks ago with their practice court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Does this also imply Wolves throwbacks with him wearing a KG jersey? Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 nah, they don't have throwbacks this season. i think it's just a promotional thing KAT's doing. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Too bad. It would be nice to do that since KG (who I think is still mulling retirement) could still play one more season in Minnesota. Thats just me being hopeful Go A's!

Digby Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Something about Memphis's jersey isn't sitting right with me. Translating one of our nation's worst tragedies through the lens of clever design meant for wear playing/supporting pro basketball strikes me as not the right note to take. I have always appreciated the NBA's embrace of the civil rights movement and this could have been far more tasteless, but it seems a little weird, too.

phutmasterflex Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 After reading about it, I agree. It's an odd choice. Atlanta most definitely would be a better fit. Based solely on aesthetics, it's a pretty good design. The reason though, that's hard for people to take in. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 That "new" Detroit Pistons is still in NBA 2K17 and appears along with every other teams logo in an image on the menu when you're setting up MyGM or MyLeague mode. The Pistons pulled this thing at the very last second to the point where it's still visible in the game. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uglybus Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 What's this? My bet is just generic unis but it could possibly be the ASG jerseys. "Okay, Mr. OKC, you obviously have never been to Louisville." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 ^ yea, you'd imagine they would say "EAST" and "WEST", too. let's hope to everything sacred that those aren't the unis. that being said, I could very easily see Adidas mailing this one in since it's their last set of All-Star unis + the last-minute change of venue. fingers crossed.
